JL's Technical

Versace, Albeck, Molinari, and Les have all used it to the teams advantage.

I don't know about Stowell or his predecessors.

I was referring to Versace with my post. A lot of coaches use the technical foul to fire up their team or to get their point across to the refs, but Versace was one of the best coaches that I have seen who used the technical foul to his advantage.
 
I believe the T on JL last night was called by Kip Kissinger. If he was far away from JL when he made the call I would not be surprised. As I recall, he is the same official that T'd up JL at Butler. On that one JL was talking to another official and KK made the call from the other side of the floor.

Anyone else recall this?

I don't want to get negative on such a great night, but I think JL's technical foul was stupid. While I agree 100% that the officiating was pretty awful and certainly didn't seem to be going BU's way, it really irks me when our coach loses his composure like that. You very rarely see successful, veteran coaches do that. I've never seen Dana do that (I am sorry to keep bringing him up, but he's the gold standard in our league). It happens too often with Jim, and I just don't like it. We all would be pretty mad if we lost by 1, because those 2 points we gave them on that T were very unnecessary. Again, not trying to be negative, but we need to be above that. I'm glad tonight we found a way.

IMO there are times when a coach needs to argue a point with a ref. The call last night was horrible, DR did not even attempt to touch the guy much less hold him as was the call. The ref was completely out of position to make that call. JL had every right to question the call. Now I don't know what was said, if he cursed at the ref or called him a name, then that is out of hand. But, IMO sometimes a coach needs to show his team he is going to fight for them. IMO last night the T was the turning point in the game. Up to that point we were playing flat and quickly losing hold on the game. JL argued a call got a T for it and the team responded. I have no problem with the T.
 
It was Kissinger and Pollard was the other ref that kept calling us for charging fouls when in fact Korver was not set and kept moving under our guys.
 
kissinger is one of the worst officials in the valley, hands down. I dread watching a game every time i see him in those zebra stripes.
